Antonio Larosa used the high-tech architecture of The Centre Pompidou as the inspiration for the Beam Benches. The stunning building in Paris houses the Musée National d’Art Moderne, which is the largest museum for modern art in Europe. Antonio Larosa was always fascinated by this major example of an ‘inside-out’ building in architectural history, with its structural system, mechanical systems, and circulation exposed on the exterior of the building.
The Beam Bench collection was designed and built exclusively for public spaces around cities, public transport, parks, colleges and universities. When painted in bright colors the Beam collection looks like fun public art, guaranteed to make you smile even on a rainy day!
